The Wind River VxWorks platforms are complete, flexible, optimized COTS development and run-time platforms that work out of the box and across the enterprise. The platforms provide a powerful, scalable development and on-chip debugging environment built on open standards and industry-leading tools; the industry most trusted commercial grade real-time operating system (RTOS); and tightly integrated run-time technologies. This proven technology package is backed by a 25-year track record, an exceptional ecosystem of hardware and software partners, and the industry most comprehensive support organization.

Our VxWorks platforms are based on the world's most widely adopted RTOS.

Built on a highly scalable, deterministic, hard real-time kernel, VxWorks enables companies to scale and optimize their run-time environment using only the specific technologies required by their device. From the smallest footprint requirement to the highest performance level, VxWorks gives developers the flexibility to build their optimal solution quickly and easily while meeting cost, quality, and functionality requirements.

VxWorks supports POSIX and industry-standard protocols such as IPv6 and TIPC, ensuring maximum code portability and interoperability. VxWorks 6.x is backward-compatible with previous releases, so developers can leverage and reuse existing projects, applications, board support packages (BSPs), and drivers, as well as open source applications. VxWorks 6 includes frameworks for file systems, power management, and interconnectivity, as well as comprehensive security capacities that begin at the core operating system level for absolute application and device security.

VxWorks 6.6 SMP

Wind River VxWorks platforms have been enhanced with new multicore support capabilities within the operating system, network stack, and development tools in order to provide the easiest path for device software developers to the benefits of multicore technology. The multicore enabling capability of the VxWorks platform is complemented by Wind River's unmatched service and support capabilities. VxWorks 6.6 SMP is offered as an optional component to all the VxWorks 6.6 based platforms, with support for the latest market-leading multicore silicon. In addition, the VxWorks SMP enabled platforms allow customers to do the following:

• Deliver higher performance multicore-powered products with reduced risk and development investment
• Speed time-to-market by using commercially available and supported run-time platforms and developer tools with support for multiprocessing
• Increase productivity by using the same development process and environment as for uniprocessor development, leveraging SMP extensions to existing development tools
• Enable a flexible design approach using Wind River's expertise and broad technology support for multiprocessing
